| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For
purposes of the Option, Total and Permanent Disability means a permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or as otherwise determined by the Committee).



---

For purposes of the Option, Cause means:



| | (1) | continued failure by the Participant to perform substantially the Participants duties, which standard of duties shall be referenced to the
standards set by the Company at the date of the Award Agreement (other than as a result of sickness, accident or similar cause beyond the Participants reasonable control) after receipt of a written warning and the Participant being given
thirty (30) days to cure the failure;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | willful misconduct or gross negligence, which is demonstrably injurious to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including without
limitation willful or grossly negligent failure to perform the Participants material duties as an officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or a material breach of the Award Agreement, the Participants
employment agreement (if any) or the Participants Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement with the Company;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | conviction of or plea of nolo contendere to a felony or equivalent offense under applicable law as determined by the Committee, in its sole
discretion; or
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | commission of an act of fraud against, or the misappropriation of property belonging to, the Company or any Subsidiary, Affiliate, other affiliated
company, employee, customer or supplier of the Company.
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In all events the Option is subject
to earlier termination on the Expiration Date of the Option or as contemplated by Section 3.2. The Committee shall be the sole judge of whether the Participant continues to render active Service and when the Severance Date has occurred for
purposes of the Award Agreement.

4. Leaves of Absence. For purposes of this Option, the Participants
Service does not terminate when Participant has a military leave of absence, a sick leave of absence or another bona fide leave of absence, if the leave of absence was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service is
required by the terms of the leave or by applicable law. The Participants Service will terminate when the approved leave of absence ends unless he or she immediately return to active Service. Except as provided by applicable law, or unless
expressly provided in writing pursuant to a Company-approved leave of absence, the period of the approved leave of absence will not be credited as Service to the Company for the purposes of determining when the Participants Option vests. In
accordance with the preceding sentence, the dates on which the Option would otherwise vest will be postponed by the number of days of the approved leave of absence.

5. Restrictions on Exercise. The Participant may not exercise the Option if the issuance of Shares at that time would violate any applicable laws or regulations. The exercise of the Option
and the issuance of the Shares upon such exercise are subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.

6. Notice of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable by the delivery to the Treasury Department of the Company (or such
other person as the Committee may require pursuant to such administrative exercise procedures as the Committee may implement from time to time) of the Notice of Stock Option Exercise in the form attached to the Award Agreement (or such other



---

form approved by the Company) (the Notice of Exercise). The exercise of the Option will be effective when the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Exercise Price is received
by the Company. In the case of a cashless exercise through a securities broker approved by the Company, the Notice of Exercise form must be filed in advance and approved by the Company prior to placing the order with the broker. This Notice of
Exercise form may be superseded by a Company-sponsored web-based trading program that includes security measures sufficient to ensure the Participants identification, such that the Participants entry of a web-based exercise or cashless
exercise constitutes his or her request and authorization to exercise the Option. If someone other than the Participant wants to exercise this Option after the Participants death, that person must prove to the Companys satisfaction that
he or she is entitled to do so pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement, the Plan and applicable law.

7. Form of
Payment. Payment of the Exercise Price may be made by the following methods, unless provided otherwise in the Appendix: (i) by personal check, a cashiers check or a money order, (ii) for U.S.-based Participants only, in
Shares of Stock which have been owned by the Participant or his or her representative for more than twelve (12) months and which are surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer, or (iii) by delivering a Committee-approved form of
irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Shares subject to the Option and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Exercise Price and any
Tax-Related Items (as defined below).

8. No Stockholder Rights. The Participant shall have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company, no dividend rights and no voting rights, with respect to the Option and the Shares underlying or issuable in respect of such Option until the Option vests and the related Shares are actually issued to and held of record
by the Participant following the Participants valid exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan. No adjustments will be made for dividends or other rights of a holder for which the record date is
prior to the date on which the Participant exercises the Option, except as described in the Plan.

9. Restrictions on
Transfer. Neither the Option, nor any interest therein or amount or Shares issuable in respect thereof maybe sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, alienated or encumbered, either voluntarily or involuntarily, except
as set forth in Section 13 of the Plan.

10. Responsibility for Taxes. Regardless of any action the Company
or the Participants employer (the Employer) takes with respect to any or all income tax (including U.S. federal, state and local and foreign taxes), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related
items related to the Participants participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant (Tax-Related Items), the Participant acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the
Participants responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer. The Participant further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the
treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Option, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or exercise of the Option, the issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired
pursuant to such issuance and the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the



---

grant or any aspect of the Option to reduce or eliminate the Participants liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant has become
subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable event, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or
account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding
event, as applicable, the Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items. In this regard, the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their
respective agents, at their discretion to meet such obligation by (i) withholding from the Participants wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; or (ii) withholding from proceeds of
the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participants behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (iii) withholding in Shares to be
issued upon exercise of the Option.

If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in
Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the exercise, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a
result of any aspect of the Participants participation in the Plan.

Finally, the Participant shall pay
to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participants participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means
previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise, deliver the Shares upon exercise or deliver the proceeds of the sale of Shares if the Participant fails to comply with the Participants obligations in connection with the
Tax-Related Items.

11. Nature of Grant. In accepting the Option, the Participant acknowledges, understands and
agrees that:



| | (1) | the grant of the Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Options, or
benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been granted repeatedly in the past;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (2) | all decisions with respect to future Option grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (3) | the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------



| | (4) | in the event the Company is not the Employer, the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are extraordinary items that do not constitute
compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, which are outside the scope of the Participants employment contract, if any and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any
way to, past services for the Company, the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;
| | --- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---



| | (5) | the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (6) | the Option and the Shares subject to the Option are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not
limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (7) | the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (8) | if the Participant exercises the Option and acquires Shares, the value of the Shares may increase or decrease, even below the Exercise Price;
| | --- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (9) | if the Shares underlying the Option do not increase in value the Option will have no value;
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (10) | no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Option resulting from termination of the Participants
employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws), and in consideration of the grant of the Option to which the Participant is otherwise not entitled, the Participant irrevocably
agrees never to institute any claim against the Company or the Employer, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is
allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction, then, by participating in the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and Participant agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request
dismissal or withdrawal of such claims; and
| | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | (11) | in the event of termination of the Participants Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participants right to vest
in the Option under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Participant is no longer actively providing Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would
not include a period of garden leave or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of termination of the Participants Service (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Participants right to
exercise the Option after the Severance Date, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Participants active Service and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive
discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing Service for purposes of the Option grant.
| | ---- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13.Data Privacy. The Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Participants personal

the Company, its designated Plan broker and any other possible recipients which may assist the Company (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in
electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing his or her participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the
Participants participation in the Plan. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or
withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing his or her local human resources representative. The Participant understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing his or her consent may affect the Participants

14. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Option and any Shares issued

together constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Participant with respect to the subject matter hereof. If
any provision of the Award Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective and enforceable.

17. NO GUARANTEE OF SERVICE. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR ANY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
PARTICIPANT AND THE EMPLOYER, THE PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT HIS OR HER SERVICE IS FOR AN UNSPECIFIED DURATION AND, IF THE PARTICIPANT IS AN EMPLOYEE, CONSTITUTES AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT. THE PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THE VESTING OF THE OPTION PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH IN THE NOTICE OF GRANT IS ATTAINED ONLY BY CONTINUING ACTIVE SERVICE TO THE COMPANY OR ONE OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES AS AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT AT THE WILL

Agreement, the Option shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in any Appendix to the Award Agreement for the Participants country. Moreover, if the Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Appendix,
the special terms and conditions for such country will apply to the Participant, to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable in order to comply with local law or facilitate the
administration of the Plan. The Appendix constitutes part of the Award Agreement.

The Participant and the Company agree
that the Option is granted under and governed by the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Award Agreement. The Participant accepts the Option on such terms and conditions. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of the Award

the development of the price.

Given the broad scope of the definition of inside information, certain employees of the Company

inside information.
